Independent Adventure Gaming Gets June Update

Posted by simoniker on Saturday July 10, 2004 @11:52PM from the back-to-school dept.

Thanks to DIY Games for its update on last month's free graphical adventure and text adventure releases, as "some older games gained recognition, and some newer ones may soon follow their example." Among the highlights was the previously DIY Games-referenced title A Case Of The Crabs, "One of the rare Flash [graphic adventure] projects... [that] deserves your attention" and which "got first featured in The New York Times Circuits sections, and later became no. 7 in the top 100 on-line games at FHM.com." Elsewhere, "The Adventurers Underground published an excellent article about The Reality on the Norm", a "a series of [graphic adventure] games based around a fictitious town." Finally, and oddly, the Adventure Game Studio software spawned the decidedly non-traditional Mafioso Over Kill, a "rail shooter, reminiscent of the Virtua Cop arcade games."

These independent games rock. I've found a few that are good enough to chew up whole nights. Can't find any links ATM (and I'm too lazy to google) but "No Action, Jackson" is a really cool old-school LucasArts-style game that's worth playing. Also, I think there was a recent slashdot article that mentioned the game "N", which is one of those nifty little games that you can play when you have a spare minute or two.
